ned( Thank you very much for the review, and no I don't take it as critique. But I did a lot of thinking, before I started to write this story, on how old I should make Gou so that he still would be able to talk without being too old. So I did some searching on 3-years-olds speaking development, and this is what I found: (the text is translated from Danish)

There is a big difference on when children learn how to speak. Some speaks fluently when they are 2 1/2 years- old-; others keep the language within themselves till they are far up into the kindergarten age.)

Chapter 17 Talking is good for the soul Part 2

 

Hilary stared at bit at Kai, hesitating in what she should say. Finally she took in a deep breath and looked at him.

 

“I was going to tell him when he was old enough to hear the truth” Hilary said truthfully, she looked down at Gou, who was completely absorbed in his blading. Hilary sighed, “Then, I would let it be up to him to decide, whether he want to meet you or not”.

 

Kai nodded at her answer, it seemed fair. Hilary had, after all, tried to contact him. They proceeded to finish the walk down the stairs, and in a splint of a second they had reached the ground floor.

 

“Just one more thing Hilary” Hilary whirled around to see Kai looking at her with cold face with his arms folded across his chest. “That guy I have seen you with. Who. Is .He?”

 

Hilary let out a laugh; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. The jealousy in Kai's voice was unmistakable.

 

“Charlie?”

 

Kai continued to stare at her; he didn't see what was so funny about it.

 

"If that's his name" Kai said slowly, with a cold expression.

 

Hilary began to laugh harder, even Gou stopped to look at his mother. Hilary was trying real hard to stop her laughing, but was having a real hard time to do so.

 

"What's so funny?" Kai hissed out. Hilary stopped laughing for a moment, but as she looked at Kai the laughing started all over again.

 

Giving up on getting an answer from Hilary, Kai turned towards Gou. He walked over and crutched down in front of him.

 

"Gou, do you know if Charlie is your Mama's boyfriend?" Kai tried to say slowly and hopefully understandable for the young boy.

 

Gou was thoughtful for a moment. He remembered that his mother once told him that Charlie was a little bit different from him and his Mama, Gou smiled when he remembered the words his mother had used. He turned his head, and looked at his Papa smiling from ear to ear; proud that he could remember what his mother had told him.

 

"Charlie likes boys"

 

“……”

 

Time went still for Kai, as he tried to comprehend what his young son had just told him. Kai turned around slowly to face the giggling Hilary who was trying very hard not to laugh.

 

“Charlie is… gay?” he asked. Hilary nodded "yes" slowly with her head. Kai looked back at Gou, who stared at him questioning.

 

"My son is living with a...-"

 

"Hey! Don't even finish that sentence Kai." Hilary interrupted. She quickly grabbed the end of Kai's sleeve dragging him away from Gou and out of hearing range. Gou just stared oddly at his parents retreat for a second and then went back to continue with his blading, thinking that whatever his parents were talking about, it couldn't be that important... unless they were talking about cartoons.

 

"Don't you say anything bad about Charlie Kai!" Hilary hissed out in a low voice, making sure that Gou wouldn't be able to hear what they were saying. "I met Charlie before I found out I was pregnant with you, and he has always been there for me when I needed it"

 

Kai didn't say anything to retort with in the beginning, his eyes soften for a moment.

 

"I'm here now" he said.

 

Hilary didn't say anything; she didn't want to have another bout on whose fault it was and all the emotion that would have to be dealt with, she was too tired for that. All that mattered now was that the two of them found a solution. A way, in which she could allow Kai to be the kind of father he wanted to be towards their son, and for her to protect Gou at the same time. Only one question lingered in her mind.

 

Would Kai be able to give that emotional support Gou needed? Or would he turn out to be a coldhearted bastard, as most people counted him for?

 

It was a risk, but Hilary knew it was a risk she had to take.

 

"How about", she started, "if we all ate together on Friday evenings, and then Gou could spend rest of the weekends with you?" She asked, and waited for Kai's response.

 

"All right. When do we start?"

 

At his answer Hilary let out a relieved sigh, she didn't know what she would have done if he had said no.

 

"Next Friday" Hilary answered and walked past Kai towards Gou, "Me and Gou have a dinner plans tonight with Milo".

 

"Milo...Milo McKinney?" Kai asked as he looked at her retreating back. Hilary looked over her shoulder, before crutching down in front of Gou.

 

"Yep, it his way to say 'I'm sorry'" She said smiling.

 

Kai was thoughtful for a moment. Milo McKinney was the guy he met that night, the one who looked a little bit too interested in Hilary.

 

Meanwhile Hilary was talking to Gou, telling him it was time for them to go home. But the little boy was stubborn, he didn't want to leave his Papa and he wanted to practice more with his blade.

 

"Gou darling, I'm not discussing this with you anymore! Now go up and pack your things... we have to go home and get ready" Hilary said in more and more stern voice.

 

But the little boy stood with his arms crossed looking defiant at his mother.

 

"But I don't WANNA" he cried out and stomped his foot against the ground, empathizing that he didn't want to go home.

 

"Now Gou listen here" Hilary started again, but was interrupted by another voice.

 

"No more arguments son! Do as your mother say, go up and get your things"

 

Gou looked teary up at his Papa who now was standing beside Hilary. Gou sniffled at little.

 

"B-b-but I-I wanna stay 'ere with u" he sniffled out. Kai crutched down and with his hand down stroked the young boy's hair; his other hand wiped the tears away from his son's face.

 

"Listen Gou, you will see me again soon all right."

 

"You pwomise?" Kai smiled at the question.

 

"I promise" Gou smiled back at his father and ran off, leaving Kai and Hilary alone in the training room.

 

"Thank you" Hilary said shortly after a while. Kai responded with a nod and stood on his feet again. Suddenly Hilary leaned in close, "But don't get me wrong Hiwatari. If you ever hurt my son in any way, I'll have him out off your life as fast as you can say beyblade" she said threatening, and with that said left the training grounds.

 

----

 

Kai watched as Hilary and his son drove away. Hilary had allowed him a brief goodbye with his son, probably as a punishment for him for taking Gou out of kindergarten without permission. He thought about what Hilary told both about Gou and Milo. He had no doubt in mind that Hilary would take Gou away from him if she believed that he caused their son any sorts of harm.

 

"She puts our son first in everything" he muttered to himself and went inside the house.

 

And then there was the issue about Milo. Now that he had found out that Charlie was gay and therefore no possible threat to him, but Milo. Milo did he not know that much about. He knew that Milo McKinney was the son of Walter McKinney and they had needed this deal with his company real bad. But when Milo had introduced Hilary to him, he hadn't been focused on to get know what kind of character Milo was, he been focused on Hilary and only her.

 

"But there is one I do know", Kai said to himself as he went to pick up the phone and dial a very familiar number, "No guy has ever bought a girl an apology dinner, at least not without some filthy intentions behind it". Kai smirked as the familiar person picked up the phone.

 

"Tala I need you to do something for me!"

Yeah I know it has been long since I last updated, but to my defense I have excuses!!!

 

Excuse number 1: I had to work on 'Return to the Past'

Excuse number 2: I haven't had much time to write in, because of school and schoolwork

Excuse number 3: I had to arrange a Christmas lunch (perhaps it doesn't sound as a big deal to you, but in Denmark it is a big deal)

Excuse number 4: I have been sick/ill

Excuse number 5: I really just hadn't have the time, and all the time I had was spend on 'Return to the Past' as said in excuse number 1.

 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and from now on I will try to make the chapters longer, but that unfortunately it means that people have to wait a bit longer for me to update!

 

Ciao for now

 

Nemi the Dragon.
